1/6/26 - Server Maintenance:
Tomorrow, Wednesday the 7th of January at 11am OW time, both servers will be going down while we perform server maintenance. Please allow for up to 3 hours of downtime.
1/5/26 - 2026 Content Update:
We would like to share an update on some of our plans for 2026 including general updates, the new Envoy system and the level 100 expansion.
Envoy System
In the coming days we will add a forum to our Discord server to discuss the upcoming content system called Envoys. During this time we will also release a live testing version of this system for a period of time where players can see the system in action to better understand it and provide feedback. We will be looking for general feedback for the overall system, but primarily feedback on rewards including a vendor to receive rewards from older content. Specific details about this system will be shared when we open the Envoys forum.
Item Database
One of the projects we are currently working on is an in-game item database where players can search and compare gear. We expect to release this in the coming weeks and players can share their ideas and feedback for this in the #suggestions channel on our discord server.
General Updates
We have begun work on turn change performance updates, general game updates and price reductions for older expansion content. While we have already compiled a list of changes thanks to feedback in the suggestions channel, we encourage players to continue to add suggestions for general updates and old content price reductions.
New Set
As previously mentioned we plan to release a new set-bonus set early this year (above Cosmic, not BiS), however we will remain focused on the Envoy system and general updates for the time being before moving to this update. As we mentioned during the update in May, there will be no price reductions to older sets with this update as those changes were made in May.
Level 100 expansion
Even though we are still a while off having any set plans for the next expansion, we would like to share some of the early thoughts we have so far. A draft plan for the level 100 expansion is to add a new Companion system where players can collect and equip companions with many different abilities. Being the level 100 expansion we would like this expansion to include a theme around the history of outwar which may include gaining previous NPCs and enemies as companions. The upcoming Envoy system will be released before this expansion, but it will be a large source of rewards once the expansion is released. We don't plan to begin any work on this expansion until we have completed a long list of other updates, but we plan to open a discord forum specifically for expansion discussions when that time comes. Because of the current list of updates to work on and current unknowns surrounding expansion plans we are unable to give a detailed expected release timeframe, but at this stage we aim to have a release in the second half of 2026.
